One Jersey City man was arrested and three others were
injured following a two-car accident on Grand Street in Jersey City this
morning, police said.

Paul Alvarado, 26, of Jersey City was charged with knowingly
leaving the scene of an accident and endangering an injured victim, police
said.

The accident occurred at 5:40 a.m. when Alvarado, driving
north on Pacific Avenue, struck a Ford driven by a Bayonne woman headed west on
Grand Street, police said.

Following the accident, Alvarado left the scene walking
north, police said.

Alvarado was stopped by officers blocks away from the scene
on Montgomery Street, police said. When asked why he fled the scene, Alvarado
told police that he fled because he was an unlicensed driver, police said.

Three victims, all from the Ford, were taken to the Jersey
City Medical Center for treatment of lacerations sustained in the accident,
police said.
